94b to J Overton, slogged down the throat of long-on! Short and heaved over the leg side but it's a comfortable catch for Walter running into his right. Short and not-so-sweet from JOverton. 151/5 | ||||||||||
| 20 | 7 | 26 | 1 | 1.30 | 3 | 0 | 0 | 0 | ||
76b to AJ Turner, carved straight to mid-off! Turner let out a wail of despair as he connected with this. Possibly a change-up from Meredith. Short outside off and he freed to arms but didn't get the elevation. Safely held by Smith, ends the Turner cameo. 119/3 | ||||||||||
| 20 | 8 | 36 | 2 | 1.80 | 5 | 1 | 2 | 0 | ||
34b to KS Williamson, miscued to long-on! Hull gets his first wicket in the Hundred, and it's an illustrious one. Williamson walks into the shot and tries to club another one down town, but this goes pretty much vertical, only ending up near to the boundary because of Sophia Gardens' dimensions. Safely pouched by the tallest man on the field. 43/1 58b to JL Smith, change of pace, spooned high into the off side! Smith skips down and swings hard across the line but completely flubs it. Big top edge and it's a comfortable catch for the man in the ring at point. Big wicket for Fire, with Smith looking dangerous. 89/2 | ||||||||||

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 20 | 9 | 35 | 1 | 1.75 | 2 | 3 | 1 | 0 | ||
22b to TB Abell, tonked down the throat of deep square leg! Abell throws back his head in frustration. He connected pretty well with the pull, only two men out during the powerplay... but he finds one of them. Fire struggling again with the bat. 30/3 | ||||||||||
| 20 | 9 | 31 | 2 | 1.55 | 6 | 0 | 1 | 0 | ||
18b to LWP Wells, sliding down leg, has he tickled this to the keeper? Spirit think so and have reviewed Tom Lungley's not-out decision. Looks like a brush of the gloves on replay. Yep, clear connection as he aimed a glance - which then became an exagerrated attempt to leave! But the technology reveals all. 25/2 33b to SA Zaib, yorks him! Full from round the wicket, Zaib seems to have it covered, drops the bat in defence... but only manages to squeeze the ball into leg stump. The zing bails light up and Fire's prospects get darker. 39/5 | ||||||||||
| 20 | 7 | 25 | 1 | 1.25 | 2 | 1 | 0 | 0 | ||
12b to SPD Smith, jumps across early, but scoops straight to third! Smith looks to manufacture something, connects pretty well - though I think we was looking to go leg side. Somehow he ends up sending it straight to Jennings, who is very fine and barely has to move! Smudge trudges off and Spirit have made the early dent they were after. 12/1 | ||||||||||
| 20 | 5 | 38 | 1 | 1.90 | 3 | 2 | 0 | 0 | ||
27b to T Kohler-Cadmore, plinked to midwicket! Overton gets his radar right and gets a wicket second ball! Kohler-Cadmore went deep in the crease but got no power on his attempted pull, the ball looping tamely into the leg side for a simple catch inside the ring. 34/4 | ||||||||||
| 20 | 6 | 25 | 1 | 1.25 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 0 | ||
47b to PI Walter, chipped to midwicket! Dawson strikes and the Fire are going down in flames. Full at the toes, Walter perhaps overbalances as he flicks it away, in the air and straight to the Spirit captain, Williamson, for a comfortable chest-height catch. 55/6 | ||||||||||
